GREETINGS

       Hello! My name is Greg Coale and I’m a senior from Highland, Maryland just 20 miles west of Baltimore. It wasn’t too long ago that I was in your shoes looking for the “right” college. For me it was a tough decision deciding whether to attend a large university or a smaller college. In the end I chose a smaller college because of my interest in receiving a highly personalized experience. I must say that after three years, the decision to choose Lycoming was the best one I’ve ever made.

        One of the largest benefits of the smaller college is the close relationships you form with professors and college administrators. Through my experiences with the business department and internship coordinator, Anne McMunn-Landon, I was able to obtain not just one, but two internships in my college career. The summer following my sophomore year I had an internship with a marketing firm in Baltimore, and was even able to advance to a leadership position as an account manager! This past summer I worked for Paradigm Management in Alexandria, VA, which helped me get an up-close and personal look at commercial real estate and development. And, I’m hopeful there may be a job for me at Paradigm when I graduate in May.
